Question

When adults of varying ages were tested for their memory of a recently learned list of 24 words, the older adults demonstrated?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is that the older adults demonstrated a decline in the memory recall but not in recognition.

Explanation:

When adults of varying ages were tested for their memory of a recently learned list of 24 words, the older adults, approximately over the age of 45 demonstrated a decline in the recall. They were unable to recall the list of 24 words which they learned recently. But they were able to recognize the words when presented in front of them to see if they can remember that the words were presented in the list or not. This showed that older adults had a decline in the recalling of memory but they were able to recognize the words. It is also generally seen that people can recognize better than recall the things.
